What happens when we answer the call? The 2nd Year What happens when we answer the call?

Matthew 11:1 When Jesus had finished giving these instructions to his twelve disciples, he went out to teach and preach in towns throughout the region. 

Matthew 11:2-3 John the Baptist, who was in prison, heard about all the things the Messiah was doing. So he sent his disciples to ask Jesus, 3 “Are you the Messiah we’ve been expecting, or should we keep looking for someone else?” 

John the Baptist John was in prison

Are you the one, or should we look for someone else?

What do we do when God doesn’t move the way we think He should? We have to be willing to serve Him regardless of the what!

Matthew 11:4-6 Jesus told them, “Go back to John and tell him what you have heard and seen— 5 the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor. 6 And tell him, ‘God blesses those who do not turn away because of me. ” 

Jesus has John change his focus We have to learn to trust

Psalm 23 The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need. 2 He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. 3 He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. 4 Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. 5 You

Psalm 23 prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. 6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever.

Sometimes we just need to be reminded that; God is the one who leads us

Sometimes we just need to be reminded that; Sometimes He leads us through green meadows

Sometimes we just need to be reminded that; Sometimes He leads us through the darkest valley

Sometimes we just need to be reminded that; We never have to worry because He is beside us

Sometimes we just need to be reminded that; He doesn’t let anything happen to us beyond His will

Sometimes we just need to be reminded that; He anoints us, and blesses us in ways we don’t understand

Sometimes we just need to be reminded that; His love and goodness pursue us

Sometimes we just need to be reminded that; At the end of whatever we face, we will be with Him!
